Fix Cloud Gallery Duplicates

Has your cloud gallery gone haywire with tonnes of identical files?

Sometimes the cloud storage service isn’t directly responsible for tens of hundreds of duplicate files, it is rather the cloud synchronization client which has uploaded copies of unedited files to the server. Copying the same file again and again from the USB flash drive, downloading files multiple times from the Internet are some of the classic examples which lead to duplication of data. Here is an effective yet simple workaround to help you get rid of pesky duplicate files.
